Lively Liz longingly likes luscious lavender.
This is the line some guy tried to use on Liz. We have one word as a response. Laughable.
He is right though, she does love lavender. In keeping with our regular Friday drink recipe (and this horrible pick-up line) we have mixed up a lovely lavender libation. Basically a vodka soda, but with a Favorite Blings & Things twist!
And instead of a lemon or lime, add a twist of St-Germain

I hate to admit it, but I need my morning coffee. I’d drink it all day if it didn’t keep me up at night. So instead I subsitute my coffee cravings with this body scrub and candle. The scrub makes your skin feel bright and fresh. Just like I like to think I am every morning! And, of course, we love aromatherapy, so with a coffee candle to burn any where, we can be transported to a coffee shop anytime we want.
Quintessentially summer, the scent of coconut is instantly enough to make me head straight to the pool. Since sunscreen is not exactly a signature scent of a working adult in the office, we had to find some alternatives, and what we found are just as good. This Lip Quench both smells delicious and nourishes. I am pretty hard on my hair–blowdrying, straightening, not washing as often as I should, so this serum saves my hair. It smells like summer and does not weigh my hair down. After our morning coffee, we like to keep it light a fresh with coconut water.
At night there are about a million ways to go when choosing what scent to wear. As it is still summer, we choose fun and flirty. We’ll save the serious scents for fall. This past weekend in Las Vegas, while wearing Meow by Katy Perry, we got on the elevator and a fellow elevator rider remarked, “You girls smell like cotton candy! The highest compliment you can receive in an elevator.” Cotton candy isn’t an all day every day scent, but for a fun night out, it’s perfect. Or should I say purrrfect. Paired with bubblegum scented nail polish (can you believe that exists?), and a marshmallow cocktail, you’ve got the recipe for a light-hearted, late summer night.

Happy Monday! We are excited to announce that we have accomplished one thing on our Champagne Bucket List: Vegas on a whim. Brigid and a bunch of girls had planned a weekend trip and I had regretfully declined the invite. But early last week, after a glass of champagne and a little encouragement, I just decided to do it.
It was a great decision. I enjoyed one fun night in Vegas full of…well, as they say, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!

The original plan was to try to make a mint julep. The plan was quickly derailed by a lack of bourbon and a strong preference for tequila. So instead of a tradition mint julep, we decided to try to make our own tequila julep by simple substitution. Something wasn’t working, as what we were left with was bland and plain. So, getting creative, we used what we had (see below), threw it all in the blender, and came up with a frozen drink that is in the middle of a julep and margarita.

Today is my birthday and I plan on keeping it simple this year by celebrating with a nice dinner, a sip of champagne, and a lot of dessert.

This is week is Brigid’s birthday week, and what better place to celebrate than Las Vegas. Not only do we want to win a million bucks, but we want to look like a million bucks. There are only a few places where no one bats an eye at this level of bling, and that’s why we’re going. We’ve done the little black dress and this trip is all about the sparkle!

We can hardly believe that it is already August, and while this month is filled with more trips (Las Vegas and Cape Cod), birthday fun, and theme parties, the arrival of August reminds us that summer is almost over. It also reminds us that we have only checked off 3 of our summer to-dos, but this past Friday night, we checked off number 4, cheering on the home team at a baseball game. The night began with pizza and champagne before moving to the tippy top of the stadium to cheer on our team (we won!). Afterwards, we enjoyed the company of great friends at a rooftop spot, taking advantage of the warm August night, while we still can.

Harry Potter liked magic and we like Harry Potter and drinking, therefore we conjured up a potion called ”magic juice” for our weekly cocktail hour.
